Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RJSNE5F8JA8 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector Type: Jack
• Contact Configuration: 8p8c (RJ45, Ethernet)
• Number of Ports: 8
• Number of Rows: 2
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Orientation: 90° Angle (Right)
• Termination Method: Solder
• Shielding: Shielded
• Contact Material: Phosphor Bronze
• Contact Finish: Gold with 50.0µin (1.27µm) thickness
• Housing Material: Thermoplastic
• RoHS Compliance: Yes
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

The RJSAE538408 meets all mandatory matching parameters and qualifies as a direct substitute. The substitute part maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications while offering active product status and enhanced EMI shielding through an integrated EMI finger design.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: RJSAE538408

The RJSAE538408 is the qualified substitute for the obsolete RJSNE5F8JA8. Selection of this part is based on the following engineering criteria:

1. Functional Equivalence: All critical electrical and mechanical parameters align with the main part specification, ensuring direct pin-compatible replacement in PCB designs.

2. Product Status: The RJSAE538408 maintains active product status with Amphenol ICC, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain reliability compared to the obsolete RJSNE5F8JA8.

3. Regulatory Compliance: Both parts maintain RoHS compliance and identical Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL 1), meeting environmental and handling requirements.

4. Enhanced Specifications: The RJSAE538408 provides an extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 85°C versus -40°C to 85°C) and integrated EMI finger shielding, offering improved performance margins without compromising compatibility.

5. Packaging Consideration: The RJSAE538408 is supplied in Tray packaging, which may differ from the original part's packaging format. Verify packaging requirements for your procurement and assembly processes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RJSAE538408 be used as a direct replacement for RJSNE5F8JA8 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The RJSAE538408 maintains identical contact configuration (8p8c), mounting type (through hole), orientation (90° right-angle), termination method (solder), and electrical specifications. PCB footprints and solder pad layouts are compatible.

Q: What is the difference in LED color between the two parts?

A: The RJSNE5F8JA8 features Red and Green-Yellow LED indicators, while the RJSAE538408 provides Green-Yellow only. If dual-color LED functionality is required for your application, this difference must be evaluated against your design requirements.

Q: Does the EMI finger on RJSAE538408 affect compatibility?

A: No. The integrated EMI finger on the RJSAE538408 provides enhanced electromagnetic interference shielding and is fully compatible with the shielded specification of the original part. This represents an improvement in EMI performance.

Q: What is the temperature range difference?

A: The RJSAE538408 operates from -55°C to 85°C, compared to -40°C to 85°C for the RJSNE5F8JA8. This extended lower temperature limit provides additional operational margin for applications requiring enhanced cold-temperature performance.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: Yes. The RJSAE538408 is supplied in Tray packaging. Confirm packaging compatibility with your assembly and procurement workflows before finalizing component selection.

Q: Do both parts meet RoHS requirements?

A: Yes. Both RJSNE5F8JA8 and RJSAE538408 are RoHS compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating.

Q: What is the basis for substitution eligibility?

A: Substitution is based on matching all critical parameters: connector type, contact configuration, port count, row count, mounting type, orientation, termination method, shielding, contact material and finish, housing material, operating temperature compatibility, and regulatory compliance status.
